Moncton played host this past weekend to some of New Brunswick’s best athletes for the annual Legion Trials and NB Outdoor Provincial Championships. Beautiful conditions defined the weekend, with temperatures easily breaking thirty degrees. The weekend allowed for several records to be broken as well as many other notable performances.

- Patty Blanchard led the way this weekend breaking not only one, but two Canadian Master records. Blanchard bested the 1500m 60-64 record by over 10 seconds coming out with a blazing time of 5:24.77. Sunday, the records continued to fall when Blanchard again bettered the 60-64 3000m Canadian Record with a time of 11:37.78.

- Jennifer Bell is no stranger to provincial records either. This past weekend she took great advantage of the conditions and beat her own 20-34 Women’s 4kg Shot Put record with a monstrous throw of 14.68m.

- Shelby MacIsaac of A.S.E.A also performed well, claiming first place in the 13-15 women’s 100m and 200m with times of 12.38 and 26.20 respectively. To finish off her triple crown, MacIsaac also won women’s 13-15 High Jump with a jump of 1.55m.

- Erin Vringer, a Saint John native and ANB’s Athlete of the Month claimed gold in three events; the Women’s 13-15 1200m, 2000m and 1500m Steeplechase with times of 3:48.13, 6:47.52and 5:00.99respectively.

- Mitchell Kean of Fredericton led the 16-17 Men’s top scores, with wins in the 400m (54.19), 800m (2:02.31), and the 1500m (4:21.23).

- A.S.E.A came out as the victor in their hometown with a combined score of 519.50. Saint John Track Club came second with a score of 348 and Fast Tracks rounded out the top three with a combined score of 167.

Athletes aged 13-17 who performed exceptionally at this meet and over the season will get the chance to continue to compete later this summer at Legion Nationals in Brandon, Manitoba.
